"Thank You M'am"
by Langston Hughes

1. Why does Roger say yes when the woman asks him if he'll run if she lets him go?


2. Why doesn't he run when he has the chance back at the woman's apartment?


3. Would you have run away if you were in Roger's situation?



4. Why do you think Mrs. Jones treats Roger the way she does?



5. Is Roger likely to steal again? What makes you think so/not?



6. How is Roger similar to or different from most kids today?
